Keep in mind the original FA builder, I think his name is Clint, he passed away and after I never bought another thing from them. I don’t know if they’re still building it to his standards but I think his son is doing it all now. So I’m sure he learned a lot from his father.

I do like their books and they have pretty good info on how to build everything. My greatest find on the site was the time they sold the TRW m14 surplus kit and I put all that on my m1a and very happy.

Their main market is the competition world and not as a self defense or hunting company.

Are they duty grade? Yes I think so. They build very solid rifles but as others said here they are pricey and you have to wait as they build it.

Thank you for the interest in our products. That sounds like it could be a fun weekend class, a couple thousand rounds would allow you to put some serios time on the rifle. Though we don't disclose our manufacturers it is a predominant maker of these components and is US based, they are 158 Carpenter Steel bolts that are HPT/MPI tested and can withstand extensive firing and use with proper maintenance. These are built to order, we advertise wait times of 3-4 weeks though in most cases they are leaving sooner. We have a one man one rifle process, meaning we don't use assembly lines, just one experienced armorer start to finished. We are highly confident in the quality of our products, our gunsmiths are very passionate and put their heart and souls in these rifles.
